Basic Elements of Psychic Medium Readings
by Glenyce Hughes

A psychic medium communicates with the spirits of your loved ones who have crossed over to the other side. When giving a reading, a medium may see images of the spirits, hear the voices of spirits, and sense both the presence and information about them.

Giving a reading is similar to playing charades. As no two people are alike, neither are two spirits alike. One spirit may show the medium what they looked like when they lived on this earth in order to validate who they are, another may show the house they lived in. It is really up to the spirit as to what information they share and the medium’s ability to interpret the information and pass it on to you in a way that you will understand it.
If you don’t recognize the spirit by the information they pass on then it may be recommended you check your family history, as there are times when people we have barely known come in to say “Hi!” Sometimes they are people who crossed over before the medium was born. The medium will then ask the spirit what message it has for you, and you will be given an opportunity to ask the spirit questions, and then the medium will move on to another spirit as the opportunity presents itself.

A psychic medium cannot guarantee who will come through from the spirit world. If you have someone specific with whom you would like to connect, the medium can focus their energy on him or her but cannot make any promises. If there is no connection made, please understand that that does not mean your loved one is not in heaven. It could mean a couple of things: they are otherwise busy (I like to say they are off saving the world and cannot chat right then) or maybe they are standing right in front of the medium jumping up and down, but the energies are not connecting.

You will be given the opportunity to ask questions of your loved ones who are in spirit—you are welcome to ask any question. However, whether they answer or not will be completely up to them. If you ask them if you should accept a new job offer they will most likely give you guidance, as opposed to specific answers. Once on the other side they cannot interfere with our choices but they can help us out. And please don’t ask them questions you know answers to, such as, what was their nickname when they lived here on Earth. Your loved one has worked hard to come to connect with you at that moment and trivial questions don’t often get answered.

When you go for an appointment the less a medium knows about you and your loved one, the easier it is for them to be sure they are making a clear connection. You will be asked to validate that the information the medium is receiving is correct. Psychic mediums are sensitive to your loss and will honour you and the spirit with whom they are connecting. This is done through love, respect, and compassion.

It is important to come to a reading with an open mind; you don’t need to “believe” in the other side in order to get a reading, just be open to the possibility. It is also a good idea to come to the reading with some questions prepared ahead of time. It is very easy to forget everything once you are in a reading, so having the questions written down will help.

Receiving a psychic medium reading can be extremely healing for people dealing with a loss. The validation that a loved one is still with us, even after they have crossed over, is comforting, joyous, and enlightening.
